Supper/Dinner Time ! What's on the menu?

[PTree15]

I had a pepper, onion and melted Daiya sandwich on a torpedo roll with hot sauce along with tomato-cucumber salad.

I tried it with the avocado first.That was good but then topped it with the coleslaw and it was even better.

I'm obsessed with coleslaw.

How do you make your coleslaw ?

I'm always trying to perfect this greatest of foods.

I keep the cabbage and the dressing separate until right before serving because I like the veggies crisp. Ideally I have green and red cabbage and shredded carrots.

For the veganaise type dressing, I use a simple cup of canola oil, 1/2 cup soymilk with pinch of mustard in the blender, and to thicken slowly drizzle in lemon juice.

To the mayo I stir in some dijon mustard and/or spicy seedy mustard, a little apple cider vinegar, a good handful of celery seed, a little salt and some coarse black pepper. Sometimes it needs some sweetness or a tang, I adjust. Then chill and mix with the cold crisp shredded cabbage and serve.

Almost next to perfection ? A handul of chopped pecans ?

I also like crisp raw vegetables with very little seasoning and hate any kind of shop made slaw. It's strange but I prefer carrots and shredded cabbage served seperately !!

I'm making some violet flavoured ice cream for tonight.
I still don't know what I'm making for the main course. It'll depend on how I feel as I'm out all day long today.

Violet flavor? That sounds really interesting.

I am having thin spaghetti with eggplant balls and sauteed peppers and onions topped with spaghetti sauce; garlic bread; red wine.

I got home late so just had time to make a quinoa salad. I added finely chopped fennel, fresh tomatoes from the local farm, coarsely grated carrots, grated lemon tofu with an evo dressing and brewer's yeast. A glass of Margharita.

Violet flavored ice cream for dessert.

Something with these gorgeous purple potatoes, sweet onions, spinach, and green beans. Maybe kidney beans too.

I read this as violent flavored. I was concerned.

It really could be, as it is a jolt to heaven.

It reminds me of Parma Violets, old fashioned British sweets/candies.

 

[Moll Flanders]

^ I haven't seen those in years.

I made a vegetable curry to reheat later tonight when the weather has hopefully cooled down.

They are lovely aren't they ? I bought some at the Retro sweet shop in Windsor. However, I have seen them at Wilkinson's.

Corn on the cob with multi seed non dairy spread. A salad made with diced fennel and tomatoes bought at the farm with sauteed seasoned soya mince with evo dressing and brewer's yeast.

Blueberries, raspberries with soya yogurt and stevia for dessert.

Last night I made ravioli from scratch. I still have a lot of sauce left so going to throw it other spaghetti noodles tonight. I've had a lot of pasta lately!
